Family and Friends Day

The project team opened the doors to their site to invite family and friends to visit and showcase the hard work, success and pride they have in the project.

This huge event consisted of three two-hour sessions, with a welcome area on Level 5 featuring a refreshments station and a state of the art kids zone, including personalised hi-vis vests, a variety of games, a giant Lego castle and the chance for children to write their names on and colour in a giant wall mural!

Guests were invited to two informative and interactive presentations about how we have constructed the building and our greatest achievements, followed by the opportunity to take part in a site tour, which included a walk around Art Street on the Ground Floor, featuring art from the architectural stained glass artist, Alexander Beleschenko; and a ride up to Level 55 via our fastest passenger lifts which travel at an amazing eight metres per second. On Level 55, our guests were treated to an uninterrupted view of London’s skyline and the opportunity to sign a tile that will forever be a part of this iconic building.

In total, the project team welcomed over 1,000 guests for the Family and Friends Day. The greatest reward of all was being able to show our nearest and dearest the result of our hard work and commitment, giving them a glimpse of the journey we have all been on over the last four years.

Testimonials from attendees were also collected.

Why is this important?

A respectful, fair and non-discriminatory management approach is needed if the industry is to attract a skilled and well-motivated workforce. In order to help close the industry’s increasing skills shortage, it has to be able to attract the under-represented sections of the working population and address changing demographics. The workforce will generally be more productive and content, if they feel valued, involved and respected.

What is the Hub?

The Hub features examples of construction industry best practice sourced from across the UK and Ireland. It can be used by anyone in the industry including site managers, contractors, suppliers and clients, who are looking to improve their standards of considerate construction.
